More useful Mac. Fewer tiny apps.

One utility, many annoyances solved

The tools you reach for every day.

NotchMore is useful on Macs with or without a physical notch. Every feature is optional, so the app stays as focused as you want it to be.

Clipboard history

Find copied text, images, and files. Pin important items, paste without formatting, preview content, and extract text from images with OCR.

File shelf

Keep files close while you work. Drag them back out, select multiple items, copy paths, share, or send through AirDrop and LocalSend.

Media controls

See artwork and playback details, scrub through media, adjust volume, and control playback without leaving your current window.

Window switcher

Move between windows with live previews, plus get Windows-style previews when hovering over open apps in the Dock.

Notch HUDs

Bring volume, brightness, battery state, and rest reminders into a compact HUD that expands naturally from the notch.

And the details macOS leaves unfinished

Cut and paste Finder files, separate mouse and trackpad scrolling, remove Caps Lock delay, add three-finger middle click, hide desktop icons, and use your camera as a quick mirror.

Made for your Mac

A notch when you have one. A compact panel when you do not.

The same tools adapt to your display instead of locking useful features behind a particular MacBook model.

Small actions, shorter workflows

Useful where the work happens.

Keep files moving, inspect open windows, and bring familiar file controls to Finder without interrupting what you are doing.

Dragging a file to NotchMore and choosing between its file shelf and sharing drop zones — **Drop files where they need to go** Send files to the shelf, AirDrop, or LocalSend from one clear target.

Cutting and pasting a file between Finder windows with keyboard shortcuts — **Cut and paste in Finder** Move files with Command+X and Command+V, just as expected.

Hovering over a Dock application to reveal its open window previews — **Preview windows from the Dock** See and control an app's open windows before switching to it.

System feedback, in the right place

HUDs that belong to the notch.

Volume, brightness, battery state, and rest reminders appear in a focused surface without making the main panel jump between states.
